The problem

Hiring lands on people who already have a full-time job

In a small business, the person hiring is usually the founder, a manager or the one who also does everything else. First-round calls come straight out of the day job.

Calls don’t fit around the work

Every phone screen is half an hour you’re not serving customers, making things or running the place.

Big HR software is too much

Most hiring platforms are built for HR departments, priced per seat and sold through a demo call.

Gut feel takes over

Without a set process, every candidate gets a different conversation, and the decision comes down to who was most memorable.

How AsyncView helps

A simple, fair first round you can run yourself

Write a few questions, send the links and get on with your day. Answers wait for you, and so does the rest of your team.

Ten minutes to set up

Publish the job, add three to five questions, paste your candidates and send. No training or onboarding call.

Pricing that fits

Free for 5 interviews, then Starter at $19 a month for 40 interviews. Cancel any time.

Bring in your co-founder

Add everyone who helps you hire, with no per-seat fees. Each person rates on their own.

Review in spare minutes

Watch at up to 2× on your own schedule. A four-question interview takes about five minutes to watch.

A fairer decision

Every candidate answers the same questions, and ratings and notes sit side by side when you decide.

Easy for candidates

A private link, a device check and a practice question. No app or account, on a laptop or a phone.

In depth

A hiring process that fits a small team

Small businesses rarely hire often enough to justify HR software, but every hire matters more. One wrong person in a team of eight is felt by everyone. The goal is a process that is simple enough to run between everything else and fair enough that you pick the best person rather than the most confident talker.

A one-way video interview gives you both. You write three to five questions once, send the same link to every candidate, and watch the answers in the gaps in your week. Your co-founder or manager watches the same answers, rates them on their own and adds notes, so you decide together without arranging another meeting.

Start on the Free plan and run a real round before paying anything. If you hire a few times a year, a paid plan for the months you are hiring and cancelling in between is often enough. Keep the questions practical, give people about a week, and always let candidates know the outcome: in a small business, your reputation as an employer travels fast.

    Sign up with your work email and company name. No card, and nobody will call you.

Is it a fit?

Who it suits, and who it doesn’t

A good fit if you…

  • hire a few times a year and have no recruiter
  • want a fair, consistent first round without HR software
  • decide together with a partner, co-founder or manager
  • prefer simple monthly pricing with no sales process

Probably not the right tool if you…

  • only ever get two or three applicants (just call them)
  • need payroll, onboarding or applicant tracking in the same tool
  • need it to email rejections for you (it doesn’t)
  • want AI to pick candidates for you
FAQ

Common questions

Is there a free plan?

Yes, with 5 interviews. The Free plan has every interview and review feature and unlimited users, with no card needed. Its interviews are a total, not per month, which is enough to run a real round and see if it suits you.

Compare plans

What does it cost after that?

From $19 a month. Starter at $19 a month for 40 interviews, or Business at $49 for 120. Each candidate you invite is one interview, there are no per-seat fees, and you can cancel any time.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. If you can write an email, you can set up an interview. Candidates need only a browser on a laptop or phone, with nothing to install.

How long does it take to set up?

About ten minutes for the first round. Sign up, publish the job, add your questions and paste your candidates. Save your questions as a set and the next role takes a couple of minutes.

Send your first interview

Will candidates find it awkward?

Fewer do than you’d expect. Candidates choose when to record, check their camera first and can try a practice question that is never saved. Say in your description how long it takes and why you use video; that helps most.

Can I talk to someone before signing up?

Yes, by message. Send us a message and we reply within one working day. There’s no sales call and no demo you have to sit through.
